Yeah, I'm disappointed that AMD paired back the DP FP performance on consumer Hawaiis. Now nVidia actually has a justification for the high prices on the Titan(Z), whereas with Tahiti, it offers all the same features, with moderately lower performance, but significantly lower price.Reply

I hope you're joking. This is a gaming card first and foremost. They didn't cut back the FP64 performance just for laughs - they sacrificed some FP64 performance to improve gaming performance - Nvidia does the same thing on their gaming cards! The Titan Z is a semi-pro card. If you want FP64, compare the Z to the latest FirePro cards.Reply

Did you expect anything different? NVIDIA could have launched dual GK110 over the holiday season, but they are nothing if not deliberate. Why show all your cards at once when the competition has nothing to compete? If the roles were reversed, NVIDIA would be the one with the hype campaign.

I'm hoping that AMD follows the tradition of the 290X launch and Vesuvius ends up priced closer to $1,000 than $1,500. Miners notwithstanding. It is probably false hope.Reply

They should have sent the briefcase to some blogs with out an nda and given them the code when the nda was lifted.

That would have provided a massive amount of hype. Or they could have put an electronic lock and sent cracking software that runs on AMD gpus and the NDA would get lifted when the first non nda blogger cracked the code and published.Reply

Isn't it amazing how Anandtech finds time to report on a metal box from a company that pays , yet a few hours after BUILD and a few more hours after Amazon's launch event you had no time to report on any of that. Something is very very wrong here.Reply

OH HOW I LOVE THAT THEY PUT THE WORD RADEON ON THE CASE.... I miss the old radeon name. I think that if they bring the name back ill buy the cards, just because radeon was a household name for me as a kid.Reply

Nothing like spending $1500 on a GPU that has 10 cent crappy drivers. AMD would be great if they knew how to make drivers that worked half as good as Nvidia. Ill stick to Nvidia at least I know my SxxT will work right.Reply
